Hi,

I am a 27 year old Indian female and I have been working for Accenture for the last 4 years. I started out as a Software Engineer and after one year i transitioned to move to IT Operations. Currently i am workng as an IT Operains Senior Analyst. My current responsibilties include serving as an offshore lead and liasioning with the client to understand requirments and assist in UAT ( User AcceptanceTesting) issues. Besids, i am also handling and supervisng the end to end delivery of applications for a team size of six. My journey so far has been very progressive, two promotions with highest performance ratings and varipous prestigious awards in my bag.

I am now looking forward to pursue an MBA and transition to Management consulting. Eventually, i would like to move to business strategy 15 years down the line. I have taken my GMAT exam and scored a 680.
I have also attached my resume for your reference.

Please advise me what speciaizations I need to target during my MBA and how to go about planning my career. What area of management consulting should i target and is it a feasible choice? If not, what career otions are feasible post MBA? What colleges should i target in US?

Dear Monica,
Good to hear from you. Sooo, your goals of moving into regular strategy consulting are entirely reasonable. Since you ALREADY work for Accenture, one thing that might help is that if you can get a rehire offer from your employer as a strategy consultant post-MBA, that can be very nice.

As for what colleges to target, this one is a bit tougher, and I'd need some more info from you. With your current GMAT and background, probably your sweet spot would be somewhere in the 15-35 range (roughly). Since anyhow this application season is mostly over, you maaaaay want to consider retaking the GMAT if you believe you can do better.

Here's an article that one of our consultants wrote regarding Indian candidates retaking the GMAT which you may find useful: https://bit.ly/mbafcBTG

All the best,
JF

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
